What Types of Inspections are Required in Pennsylvania?
Our state mandates several mandatory inspections that are meant to ensure the safe operations of vehicles on the road. There are different rules according to the class of vehicles, including passenger cars and light-duty trucks. Your Dodge Journey SUV, Jeep Wrangler, or RAM 1500 truck should fall into this category. There are separate categories for commercial vehicles, passenger vans, and such.
The following systems must be inspected:
- Suspension
- Steering
- Tires & wheels
- Brakes
- Electrical & lighting systems
- Defrosters
- Windshield wipers
- Speedometer & odometer checks
- Horns & other warning devices
- Fuel systems
- Chassis
- Mirrors
Some counties in Pennsylvania require an anti-tampering check. This is a visual exam that includes an assessment of the emission system to ensure that no parts have been removed. Depending on where you live, mandatory emissions testing may also be required. If your vehicle fails to pass the inspection, you will need to make repairs and then have the car tested again.
